Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1.25 cups Grape-Nuts cereal
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the Grape-Nuts cereal and optional chopped nuts if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Spoon tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your palm to help them bake evenly.

Step 9

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake, as they will firm up as they cool.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your crunchy, nutty Grape-Nuts Cookies! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
